May 26
Woke up and were able to prepare for ourselves several items we have wanted for a while now....like "breakfast". Paulie and Annie prepare Muesli - Swiss Style and then Annie, Sam and I decide to get a little exercise by walking into town. We head out and Paulie and Hudson opt to take a trip to the bakery by car to pick up fresh bread. We walk around the harbor front and up and around the winding streets up to the top of Skopelos Town. The view is amazing and it is fun getting lost within the village. All roads seem to either lead up or down and you cannot imagine the different combinations of ways to get from point A to point B. Eventually, we run in to Paulie and Hudson and all decide it is time for lunch. We re-visit our luncheon place which is now called "Sad Guy" because the waiter seems to be very forlorn about the lack of tourism and the difficult economic situation that Greece finds itself in. We complete our meal, once again, with Baklava. After lunch, we purchase oranges and chocolate and walk back home where we settle in for a huge thunderstorm. We all get our sleeping bags nestled around us and sit on the covered porch to watch the storm. The harbor is magical at night with the hillside dotted with lights and the waterfront glistens as it reflects the lightning. The thunder lights up the sky purple and is quite dramatic and close at hand. The rain rolls in and provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of card playing and eating a cozy home-made dinner. All we needed was a fireplace to complete the scene. Instead, we all snuggle into our beds and sleep peacefully.
